Unless the repairer is going to entirely swap out the circuit board, I wouldn't want it repaired. What is the repair shop warranty - 90 days? That circuit board is a problem waiting to recur.

I have not heard a single report of an immobilizer repaired by Qmulus or ECUDoctors failing. Not one.

Same here. I would trust either of them to repair my board.

Hopefully I'll never have to worry about it - my board still looked factory new when I installed it in an ECUDoctors waterproof case last month.

I had mine repaired and it didn't work out in the end, I was having problems with it and I finally put a new one in and had it programmed by Porsche and even that one didn't last more than two months but they put a new one in and didn't have to pay the second time. So I think like you replace it.
